Completed Critique Berdan sharpshooter

[MoboSchreuder]

Hello,

My last one is the Berdan sharpshooter by MMM. The scale is 120 mm and I have built a new tree for the figure.

Modelling the tree:


And finished:

Now that is nice Mobo.
I also have this kit to do.

I like what you've done with the tree and he's wearing a lovely shade of green. Really nice figure.

Saw this figure at figureworld and it looked nice,it's not my period of interest but it's nicely done.
You have completed a good job on this mobo

Good job all around. Been thinking about this one or MMM's 200mm Berdan. Can't decide which.

Very nice work.
I have this coming, but I wasn't that enamored by the tree in the photos of the kit. I like what you did to make it more realistic.
How'd you find the fit and overall aspect of the kit?

Very very nice - as a very late comer to this site and in fact military figure modelling it is incredible the results you boys are now achieving. I have always been interested for years but have been too involved in target shooting to give it any real effort and suspect it may be to late to get to any real quality, I did have a stab at it many years ago and have an early model of a Berdan sharpshooter but in those days it was virtually all straight up and down,I wouldn't risk posting a picture. Any way thats enough squit from a Norfolk, England native.

Hello Jim
with this kit I had some troubels with the fit, but it is good to do it

Ive been tempted by this one myself, but I still have a problem with that left hand - try doing it yourself, fingers dont point forward when you hold your wrist like this!! Stunning painting, though, all the same!

Excellent painting and very nice work on the tree Mobo.

Cheers,
Andrew

I see what you mean about the left hand - it looks awkward. It might need some tweaking or re-sculpting.
I'll take a look when mine shows up.
